Palm Coast manager to get a $5K raise

After a slew of failed motions that raised some eyebrows Tuesday, the City Council approved an almost $5,000 raise for City Manager Jim Landon -- but barely.

In this economy,$168,000.00 for a job in city govermentis getting a bit much,dont you think?

Exactly what does Jim do that warrants a $5,000 raise when the city should be considering layoffs? The way this city operates is criminal. There are lots of roads that need to be repaved and this guy sits on his duff for a whopping paycheck.

his job should be eliminated, along with the vice mayor position.check out how many aides city council has.we could cut the budget in half by cleaning house and cutting outrageous salaries.
all city jobs should pay min. wages. if they dont like it. theres people waiting.

now we know why he didn't have any money for the palm coast humane society. it was to in his pocket instead. df

Why is Jim Landon getting a raise when we are near a depression....I guess he has played up to the special interest. Going to build another tennis court or walking trail? And then lay of some more city employees. Amazing! He should be reduced in salary and half of the staff should be fired. Peace
